professors

I think students who take courses online classes are busier than ever before. They have a job, life, school, and children, or taking care of an elderly parent. Are they stressed out? Of course, they are. They must manage everything and even staying up late to finish an assignment.

Time management and scheduling are the keys to be successful. Students have two jobs. They work at their 9 to 5 job, and when they get home, they have to do more things to prepare themselves for the next task they have to do. In other words, personal stuff. And if they have a child or an older adult. They have more priority than education. Staying in good health is necessary and staying alive too.

I don’t understand why professors give the student more assignments to do. Professors tell their student to prioritize what they need to do. Have a calendar on hand, make a schedule and make time for yourself too. Other students maybe lazy and they forgot what assignments they need to do. Some students are smart, and they do assignments on time. Professors want to teach the students how to be responsible but calling their parents and telling that they missed a task – is not a good idea. Reminding the whole class when the assignment is due is the proper thing to do. If you think I am wrong, it’s like Professor doesn’t care about their students anymore and they get a bad review when the students must evaluate the professors at the end of the semester. The professors receive a grade too. Professors remind your students constantly when the assignments are due. If you think I am wrong, why you didn’t you get the award for the professor of the year award?

The professors can spam the students in their school email account and their blackboard and Moodle account to make sure they do the assignments.

Social Media helps too. But it could be awkward if you are besties with your professor on snap chat, Facebook, or Instagram. Pictures. Whoa.

The professors keep telling their students they had to be responsible for everything of they have to learn and prepared for anything. Do they still do pop quizzes in colleges, universities, and online? Students read your syllabus. If the students can’t read the syllabus, get the audio portion of the syllabus. Do they do that? Have an audio part of the syllabus? If so, that’s great, if not – you are lost.

Professors should limit their assignment or give them choices of what to do. Because students have a load of assignments and projects to do and deadlines are due. Students need rest and sleep too. If a student gives a professor an apple, use it to your advantage, if a student is sleeping in your class throw the apple at them.

Blackboard and Moodle are now together and more convenient to do their assignments and use discussing boards to talk back and forth. It’s like a classroom where you do not have to raise your hand but engage in conservation of the subject or get help. Using a video chat may help, who wants to see a person either half-naked in their pajamas or seeing someone in the background doing inappropriate things.

Do you want to prepare your children for the future? How do you do it? First, let your children be children, and let them grow. But when they go to high school it’s time to be serious. They have to be prepared for the S.A.T test and pick the right college or university to further their education. They have skills. Can their skills change the future? Could they be the next president without the scandals they have in the past?

How would they survive? That’s the parent’s problem. Parents have to teach and train their child to be better than themselves. Parents make mistakes too. But the parents must teach their child to be a better person and smarter.

In high school, they must learn science, technology, engineering, and mathematics or STEM; this applies to acting, business, and cooks. And technology engineering companies. Engineering technology is a must and applies to everywhere, building computers, building the latest software and building much stuff to make our lives a better in the future. Movies influence us of what the future would look like. If we could make that in reality, it would be great. And they need a teen life too like going to prom and school activities.

What we have to do is to influence our children, it all starts with the parents. Teacher and professors are the resources and shape them to be a better person in the future. School and universities have laboratories and the latest technology they need to get ahead. Why blow up the garage and home, if it is insured.

Don’t start them late, or they end up in a garage forming a band that goes nowhere, or homeless. They need a stable future and career.

So how’s was your labor day? Did you do any labor on Labor Day? Work is work and we need to get it done.

Anyway, you may know that school and universities were open a few weeks ago and they will learn new things and make friendship too.

Are the, teachers, college instructors, and universities professors ready for students to learn new things? Maybe?

For parents, please tell your children to learn and have fun. Making friends are crucial for the adolescent of children especially when they are growing up. But make sure it’s the right person when they bring home a new friend to be friends with. It’s like a date, but different, they have to find something common of what they like and dislike. If they are in the same classroom, make sure they are studying together and make good grades. Math and science are important for the children education, if they make good grades in math and science throughout the middle school and high school, it would be easier for them when they are off to college and universities and they have to take general courses and then their major of interest. So make them study.

For students who seniors in high school and getting ready to graduate at the end of the school year, they have been slacking off for the past two years of high school. It would be difficult to catch up and graduate with their classmates.

They have to work hard; they have to create a schedule for homework, school activities, prom, and a job. Students can take a break if they have good grades.

For teachers, college instructors, professors at universities and teacher of the year, please make your classroom entertaining to learn. Not the boring lecturing type. Do you want your students to fall asleep in classroom or take selfies the whole time while the instructors are lecturing? It’s time for an upgrade and change. Students are more active, if their instructors make learning fun, games like Who’s Wants to be Millionaire, Jeopardy and other popular game shows. Make learning fun. It’s great for College and universities students too. If they have cell phones make it part in their education. Make a deal with the students. Students like to be challenge, if not they will take more selfies of themselves. Try it and see how it works. Don’t be boring.

Every year we have someone in our community to give an inspiration speech to you. And I am one of them. We want you to get out and find what you want to do. We can sit here and listen to me, but don’t leave yet. I have some inspiration words and a great story to follow.

Our parents worked very hard to give you tools to survive: Home, food, and shelter. Other tools we need are the computer and the internet. How can we communicate to the other people around the world? Traveling is good, but how can we get there. Money is tight. We need money to take us anywhere we can. We have to make the best of what we can do. We have resources all around us. The library is the best way to find our sources. If you can’t find on the internet, try the library. You can also read in the library, quietly. Shhh.

Teachers stop flirting with your students. And students stop flirting with teachers. We want an education not to see a different teacher every time we come to class in the morning. We look up to good teachers who taught us, not to flirt, but take it down a notch. We keep losing teachers because they can’t perform in the class room. Use your resources and bring it to class and share it with your students. Teachers we have to be creative in the classroom.

Students please pay attention to your teacher. They are trying to teach you something new to you. They are training you to be the best and bring out your talent and use that talent.

What can be more drastic in the school, and it will never change is our behavior in the classroom. Behavior is a distraction to the education. We have to stop and pay respect to the students who passed on and talk about it, to learn our lesson that bullying is a crime. It can hurt relationships with one another.

Stop whining and complaining and let the teachers teach you. Education is no joke. We want to be smart and intelligent in the real-world to-day. We have to keep up in the world today and stay ahead with our competition. Dress for success, pull up your pants, wear something appropriate to school. Be a good leader. Show us what you can do.

We can be individual. Speaking up is good, but we have to choose our words wisely and carefully, think before speak, don’t insult your neighbor and friend. Look for solutions and apply yourself.

Be good and stay smart and have fun. If you make a mistake, try again, and don’t make the same mistake once. You have one shot to do it right.

To the graduate class, venture in your new adventure. At the end of your adventure write a book and share it to the world what you have accomplished.
